today. i'm talking about apple. down about $12.53 or more than 3%. we did put it in our feature but on the lower part of the screen because it is widely held, and a lot of you watch it closely. it is down. why the drop? will, news that there is less than stellar demand. plus, reported production issues delayed shipment of the iphone five. so, just how big a deal is apple soup? well, it's down about 44%, of of its record close from november november 2012. today is almost half that. look at this. what a change we have seen there. the nasdaq, just 8 percent of the nasdaq. another closely watched name. j.c. penney, the total opposite situation. they may have reason to smile. a desperate need of cash. not a breaking story, but it

could get the $500 million infusion in the form of a loan from wells fargo. that would apparently be back by the retailers' inventory and accounts receivable. let's focus on the markets as you mentioned, don't count down earnings. we have ibm on deck. right now the markets are reflecting the nonbelievers out there. doreen, what you believe that is? >> clearly we have a change in sentiment from the traders. plenty of people that are welcoming these downdrafts money back into the market. still pretty well liked. we still have a lot of corporate earnings taking place, so there is good news in months all of

these. liz: i guess you can say that is true, right now we are just awful close of the session, down about 117. there is clear negativity. i am less worried about that than i am in something that the traders may seek. he tommy. >> we have been watching the copper market. i mean, copper is the gauge of the global economy. we saw russia come out last night. they warn that if the physical commodities continued a sell-off they may fall and slick themselves into a recession. if we start to see russia fall into recession, parts of europe also may fall. the u.s. to be right behind it, and this could be as serious meltdown that could occur. liz: well, a meltdown in gold. right now we're up about $4. it is not a big deal. still, well off of the eyes of the past year or so. let me just get to crude oil right now. it is rebounding a bit by about a dollar and 54. overall, the entire energy complex looks stronger. what is that duty today?

>> i think we have overdone it. we oversold the market. we got into a level where commercial buyers came into start hedging positions. i'm with that. to me right now eyeleted 84 and a half to 85. from here you buy this. and we head back up higher. liz: what would drive the move fire? >> well, a couple of things. coming up with a lot of bad news right now. and there was a huge sell-off in commodities. it's it's a sex sweating over. bad economic news, the world economies. but icn next week to four weeks, we have seen the worst. the next week to four weeks we're going to start to see equal or better news. but that the commodities rise up. we only saw how far it can go down with bad news. liz: doreen and phil, i guess this question is a random one. cell in may and 08. getting very close. can anyone afford to do that?

this market is so fluid. >> well, you know, we really have not had retail investors involved. everyone makes the assumption that everyone got in the top and now they're losing. not necessarily a bad market. it's an opportunity for many people that have a lot of cash on the sidelines and are waiting to get in. >> earnings are mixed. not have a lot of good news. in the economic data front in the united states and certainly everybody is very, the bombings. liz: hold on. we will fix your microphone. let me throw it to you, phil. that same question. cell in may and go away at your own peril if. >> i think so. it is definitely in the cards. think we ran up too far in the s&p, on the verge of a breakdown. earnings are going to confirm that. the jobs market will start sliding, especially of the next few months. qe is not helping, so i could definitely see that come back later in the year.

a consulting stabilize, and we will get bargain prices. liz: we like it or bargain. thank you. i want to bring in nicole petallides. you have been looking for bargain stocks. overall we have the situation with apple where it turned even more sour with the stock falling to a new low. i hate getting to apple centered because people get all glittery i'd. maybe the world is just saturated with the iphone and ipad products and that is it for now. >> more products coming down the pipeline. what i was just looking at, this chart from 2008. and then you have all the way up. so many great years up to that $700 mark. only to see it come down, trading at 390, 44. obviously not what has been raided and actually closed below, this $400 level back in december of 2011. so the question is say, is this a great time to double down, $1,600.

should you wait because we're nowhere near the bottom? and that is the problem. liz: did you hear the guy with tracy and adam destroyed before ourselves. this is a buying opportunity. we should go back and get every single person as it fell from 700 suzanne this is a buying opportunity. they have all been wrong. >> we'll see. a $7,205. j.p. they reiterated their overweight. liz: you know what, and they are smart. it is a possibility. right now i think people just might be over. when the herd moves in that direction people have to be careful of these things. thank you so much. we appreciate it. as you have been watching on this network of president obama did honor the victims of monday's explosions in boston at an interfaith church service. this just a short time ago as investigators continue their man of the person or persons irresponsible for the marathon bombings. we have jeff flock on the story. yesterday with one mad this is

suspects that they have in mind. there is also video of at least one of the devices being placed. there is an internal debate going on within the fbi right not to figure out what they want to release those videos are pictures are not. agassi will find out at 5:00. possibly. also, the letters sent to u.s. senator roger wicker and president obama containing boys in, the fbi does say that those letters did contain an deadly substance. officials said emplaced paul kagan curtis under arrest doing district court today. maximum penalty for this one, said the justice department, 15 years, a half million dollar fine if convicted. back to you. liz: you want to let our viewers know that when that fbi briefing does happen at the top of the 5:00 p.m. eastern hour, we will take it live. don't worry. the second they get to the podium if it does happen, remember, a couple of canceled. we will have that for you. this is an important story of great interest. we understand and will have it. closing bell ringing in about 51
